Dear Peter,

Much in the same way that you should not being doing certain things, I do
think you should look into installing a copy of Ethereal
(http://www.ethereal.org/) and then sniff their traffic. Typical pointy
haired bosses probably have nothing better to do than look at whatever others
are doing (and that thing called 'manage', whatever that truely is) and plan
where to take 'clients' with their families to which restaurants.

<moment_of_clarity>
   this is not alt.sysadmin.recovery is it?
</moment_of_clarity>

As others have said, do not download stuff you should not be downloading at
work, unless you know how to hide things, *cough* ssh tunnels *cough* port
443 *cough*

Regards

Alex
